an old man with a mental condition (similar to Billy Bob's sister in PREACHER) that fucks with his recognition in his brain, so he thinks all people look like lumps of bread, but he's a racist anyway, even though he can't SEE the difference physically

I particularly love Carey stuff, but this one is perfect. The First of the Fallen gets more sophisticated than never, just wanting to enjoy the night, not wanting to kill John or whatever: you should expect a demon be patient, shouldn't you?

It's not only you who is waiting for it, I think everyone else is too!!! Carey has left little vis-a-vis between John and the The First, so now everyone is prepared for the fight! I'm even saving some pop-corn for the moment!

But maybe in what's left of his run? I don't see it likely either since leaving (at the very least) The First to be used later by another writer seems like the most logical guess. I reckon he'll take care of Nergal and Rosacarnis for good though.

Then again I haven't even read this issue so I don't think I have much weight to throw into the discussion quite yet.

That's what I think: It wouldn't be logical if all these hints Carey has been giving us about the First ende in nothing, would it? But I don't remember how many issues has Carey left, so I can't tell if he will have space ;)

About not knowing what Johnny was thinking or feeling, I read in an interview with Carey that he wanted that, so he was explaining the stories from John's friends, and leaving his mind hidden for us. Carey thought that tyhis would give him more interest, more magic.

I think he's doing well, you can guess what john's thinking bye the look in his face. But then in Delano's run, you saw a more complex character, with ironies and all, that completed the story. But, after all, who knows? We'll have to wait to see what happens with the last issues.

So now that I've read the issue(s) involved in this arch here's my opinion of it thus far.

This issue was all about preparation. John makes his enterence, which was a good line. I also liked his description of Hell as "a living thing". It set the mood nicely. There's not really much to say about it. I'd give it about an eight. I wasn't dissapointed with the content, and the art was up to par. No complaints...except this one.

I know we're all supposed to accept that John's always had one up against the next guy, but this issue didn't quite clarify that to me. How was it that John was able to catch up on the plan when there is no real hint he had any idea what Nergal's intentions were the entire time. Granted, he's no friend of Constantine.

That said, it was good moment when John revealed he was aware of the plan Rosa had carried since "Happy Families" or at least that he had figured it out along the way that he couldn't be killed for the sake of the spawn.
